[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm so happy to read a happy ending (we hope!). That said, now that your dad knows it can happen -- and happen at this company -- I'd still think he should polish his resume, including certifications, new skills, etc. and redouble his networking efforts. I don't know what the security of the new position is but if it can happen once, it can happen twice. I also think your parents should consult with a financial advisor if necessary and plan to reduce living expenses and increase retirement savings to the maximum extent they possibly can. They should save every dime for the next 8 years (or maybe more, 63 is still young to retire), delay taking Social Security, etc. I.e. don't rest easy because they need to have the money in place to survive ~20 and maybe more years after retirement.[/quote]
